When you wake up, you are given marriage to your nemesis

It was a jadeite jade bracelet.Except for the situation where she was absent-minded and didn't listen carefully to what people said, Qiao Wan had a good memory the rest of the time, and she remembered who the owner of the bracelet was after just a little thought.

It's her...how did she come here?

Qiao Wan thought about it for a while, and decided to go to see her. Anyway, with Luo Fengxin by her side, even if the other party had any unruly plans, she would be able to retreat unscathed.

She followed the young man to an inn. There was a sign that the room was full outside the door, but there was only one shopkeeper and two handymen in the lobby. It was obvious that someone had booked the place.

Qiao Wan followed the guide up to the third floor. There was a man guarding the stairs with a sword in his arms, and his expression was very vigilant. Seeing that Qiao Wan had brought other people, he reached out and stopped him: "The master only invited Nankang County The master alone, this brother, please wait outside."

This person should have seen Luo Fengxin dressed plainly and carrying sundries, and regarded her as Qiao Wan's servant.

Qiao Wan didn't want to reveal Luo Fengxin's identity, but she explained a little bit: "This is my friend, she is very strict and won't talk nonsense."

"That's not okay, the master said he saw you alone." The guard said coldly.

Qiao Wan rebuffed firmly: "Your master asked me to talk about something. If she doesn't trust me, then there's no need to talk about it."

The guard probably didn't expect that a woman like Qiao Wan, who looked very weak, would speak so forcefully, and her face turned pale for a while.He stared at Qiao Wan without saying a word, Qiao Wan turned around and was about to leave when she saw this.

"Princess wait a minute, let me ask the master for instructions." Seeing that she was really going to leave, the guard showed a little panic and shouted behind her.

Qiao Wan turned around and raised her hand, motioning for him to please.

After the guards entered, the man who had led the way stood guard at the door, and Qiao Wan and Luo Fengxin stood at the corner of the stairs on the second and third floors.

Taking advantage of no one watching, Qiao Wan quickly touched a piece of rice cake and stuffed it into her mouth, and smiled flatteringly at Luo Fengxin, the only witness present.

"Don't eat it. After eating these miscellaneous things for a while, I don't want to eat at night." Luo Fengxin said helplessly.She pinched the seal of the paper bag tightly to prevent Qiao Wan from stealing food.

"Candied fruit and candied fruit can be taken home and eaten slowly. This rice cake is delicious when it's hot. I don't know how long we'll talk about it. My rice cake will be cold after the talk!" Qiao Wan complained in a low voice.

Seeing Qiao Wan's changes in front of and behind people, a little smile appeared on Luo Fengxin's face. She wanted to hook Qiao Wan's hand, but unfortunately her hands were not empty.

Well, even if it's empty, I still have to endure it now.

The young man who led the way just now was obviously an eunuch. She saw the bracelet and knew who it was.Seeing or not seeing is the same for her, in short, she is not interested, but Qiao Wan's "my people" just now made her feel very happy, so she decided to subtract the sum she just wrote down from Qiao Wan's witty performance. , when you have the opportunity to bully Qiao Wan, you can consider being a little gentler.

The door opened, Qiao Wan put her hands behind her back and wiped her fingers with a handkerchief, and looked at the person coming with a calm attitude, not in a hurry to speak first.

The guard saluted her, and said stiffly: "The master said that since he is a trusted friend of Princess Nankang, please come in together."

Qiao Wan and Luo Fengxin walked into the room, and the door closed behind them.

This room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. There is a semicircular arch in the middle, and a thin bead curtain hangs down to separate the inside and the outside.

There was no one outside, but through the bead curtain, one could be vaguely seen standing in front of the inner window, wearing eunuch's clothes.The window was not open, the man was not admiring the scenery outside the window, he was just standing there.

"Mrs. Concubine Shu." Qiao Wan didn't go in, and blessed the man outside through the bead curtain.

The man turned around, and it was Concubine Cao Shu who had been disguised.

"Princess." Concubine Cao Shu also saluted Qiao Wan in the same way.She is going to be a queen soon, logically speaking, there is no need to treat Qiao Wan like this, but it is not reasonable for her to appear here in this attire.

To act in this way is mostly asking for oneself.Qiao Wan quickly had a deduction in her mind, but after all, she didn't have a deep relationship with Concubine Cao Shu, so she didn't speak rashly, and planned to listen to Concubine Cao Shu's explanation of her visit first.

"Princess, please sit down." Concubine Cao Shu asked Qiao Wan to sit down, then opened the bead curtain and walked over, holding a small red lacquer box in her hand.

She sat on the stool next to Qiao Wan, and said to Qiao Wan: "I was in the palace the day before yesterday and I wanted to ask the princess to talk, but I have a lot of things recently, so I didn't take care of it. Now the princess is going to Minzhou with Princess Leping. If I don’t say some things now, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance in the future.”

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. If you have anything to do, just let someone summon you. Why come here in person?" Qiao Wan said.

Ever since Luo Jinhe issued the order for Luo Fengxin to move to the fiefdom, the Empress Dowager Chen also "compassionately" quickly spared Luo Fengxin and Qiao Wan from waking up in the morning so that they could concentrate on preparing for departure.

Since then, the two haven't entered the palace for several days. If Concubine Cao Shu wants to discuss with her something confidential, although it is not as convenient as before, she can order someone to send a private letter to let her enter the palace in disguise, but Concubine Cao Shu came out of the palace in person. Seeking, it seems to be full of sincerity.

Concubine Cao Shu smiled shyly when she heard the words: "Although going out of the palace is a bit troublesome, it's okay. I heard that Min is poor. You must go here because all kinds of businesses are waiting to be done, and there are many places that need to spend money. These are concubines. I have hired someone to run the business on my behalf for a little bit of property, and I am willing to support the princess as much as possible, and express my heart."

As she spoke, she pushed the box in front of Qiao Wan and opened the lid.

Qiao Wan saw a thick stack of banknotes in the box, roughly tens of thousands of taels.

Her face was calm, and her heart was filled with exclamation marks.

A lot of money! ! !And what's with Concubine Cao Shu's shy, happy smile? !

"She doesn't like you too, does she?!" Xiaobai followed Qiao Wan in surprise, "I have been secretly in love for many years, but because of my family background, I had to marry the royal family, and now we are about to part, so I made a special trip to confess my love?"

The more it talks, the more it feels that its analysis is very reasonable: "You see, she said some things before, and if she doesn't say it, she will have no chance!"

When Xiao Bai said these words, Qiao Wan felt a chill coming from behind her, which came from Luo Fengxin who was standing behind her as a servant.It's too exciting to be shown favors in front of my little gentleman!

Qiao Wan had an intuition that things must not be like this, but the overwhelming feeling made her feel that Luo Fengxin might be thinking like Xiaobai just now!

"Enough, stop talking!" Qiao Wan stopped Xiao Bai in her heart, to prevent her thoughts from being taken away by it to some strange place.

But Concubine Cao Shu was right, the biggest problem for her and Luo Fengxin to go to Minzhou was lack of money.When she was making a list of items to buy that day, she also roughly estimated the budget for developing the foundation in Minzhou.It is true that the imperial court will allocate funds, but they have to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother Chen and others. It is impossible to report all expenditure items to the imperial court, so they still have to find ways to get money themselves.

Qiao Wan hasn't saved much money these years, and she knows that she will eventually leave this world, so why save so much money?

On Luo Fengxin's side, besides the rewards from previous years, which was the basic salary, of course she didn't have to worry about food and clothing for the two of her, but it was not enough to form an army and incorporate the local militia.With Concubine Cao Shu's money, she should be able to afford a lot.

Qiao Wan regained her composure, and asked Concubine Cao in a calm tone, "I don't get rewarded for nothing, I don't know if Concubine Shu gave me such a large sum of money for nothing, what are you asking for?"

"Don't be suspicious, the princess. The concubine gave the money to the princess just to make a good relationship." Concubine Cao Shu lowered her eyes and looked at her lower abdomen, stroking her stomach and smiling: "The concubine felt unwell a while ago, so I invited the imperial concubine The doctor came to check the pulse and found out that she was pregnant. It was because of this that she accidentally bumped into the Princess and Princess Leping outside Wenyi Palace that day."

Qiao Wan was startled, and subconsciously wanted to turn her head to look at Luo Fengxin, but quickly held back.

Concubine Cao Shu is the niece of Empress Dowager Chen, and the Chen family has been waiting for this child for too long.When Luo Jinhe was still the crown prince, some staff members persuaded Concubine Cao Shu to give birth to a son to reassure the Chen family. Luo Jinhe refused to agree these years. Recently, he not only changed his mind to make Concubine Cao Shu the queen, but also made her pregnant. on the child.

"Congratulations, Concubine Shu." Qiao Wan said congratulations, while quickly considering this matter in her heart.

Concubine Cao Shu was pregnant at this time, which was a great thing from their point of view.The Empress Dowager Chen "successfully separated" Luo Jinhe and Luo Fengxin, and then waited for the child she had always wanted. Everything went smoothly, and her vigilance towards them would drop a lot.

But from Concubine Cao Shu's point of view, this may not be a good thing.The relationship between her husband-in-law and her uncle's family has always been delicate. If she has no children, it's okay to say that having a child is equivalent to providing the Chen family with a new monarch. Once the emperor turns against her uncle's family in the future, she and Her children will bear the brunt of the victims.

Qiao Wan didn't understand what Concubine Cao Shu was thinking.

If Concubine Cao Shu didn't understand the pros and cons of this, she came to herself for help again; since she is not stupid, why should she keep this child?To her, this child is simply a reminder, why does she still feel so happy for the arrival of this child?

Qiao Wan couldn't guarantee the kindness that Concubine Cao Shu wanted, so she didn't accept the money.

It will be difficult for me and Luo Fengxin to go to Mindi, but this is also in her original expectation.They can go there and expand their own strength while developing local production, and they can also borrow some from Yuexiu when they really can't make money.

Concubine Cao Shu saw that Qiao Wan had no intention of accepting her gift other than congratulations, so she quickly said: "I often hear His Majesty praise the princess for being resourceful and decisive, so I came to ask the princess for help. I also know that this is too embarrassing. , I want the princess to have the best of both worlds, if something changes in the future, I only hope that the princess can keep this child..."

Speaking of which, she got up from the stool and knelt down for Qiao Wan.

"Your Majesty, don't do this, get up quickly." Qiao Wan hurriedly helped Concubine Cao Shu, not to mention Concubine Cao Shu was about to become a queen, even an ordinary pregnant woman couldn't see her making such a fuss.

Concubine Cao Shu insisted on not getting up, insisting on kowtow to Qiao Wan.

Qiao Wan couldn't help but secretly went to see Luo Fengxin, but Luo Fengxin didn't want to see her being persecuted, and wanted to drag Concubine Cao Shu by force whenever she moved.Qiao Wan noticed Luo Fengxin's thoughts, and quickly blocked him.

Concubine Cao Shu's willingness to let go of her humble status and beg her for her child touched a secret string in her heart.No matter how the adults fight, the child is an innocent life after all.

Qiao Wan sighed, and helped Concubine Cao Shu again: "I promise. The empress is pregnant, so don't torment yourself like this."

Concubine Cao Shu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and said happily, "That concubine is here to thank the baby in her womb."

Qiao Wan pondered and said: "Although I would like to help my mother, I will go to Minzhou in a few days. The far water cannot save the near fire. My mother is in the palace by herself, so be careful in everything."

"I understand. If something happens in the palace, I will send someone to report to the princess." Concubine Cao Shu said with a smile: "And I always feel that the princess and Princess Leping will not stay too much when they go to Minzhou. For a long time, I will come back one day.”

Qiao Wan was slightly taken aback, did not answer, saluted again, and left with Concubine Cao Shu's box.

As soon as she left, the guard who stopped her before came in, and said to Concubine Cao Shu with a worried face: "Mother, is it dangerous to let a third person know about such a big matter? Why don't you go follow me?" That friend of Princess Nankang..."

"You don't need to do anything extra." Concubine Cao Shu turned her back and wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief. She stroked her lower abdomen and said with envy and regret on her face: "That is Princess Leping. I always heard that the two of them were at odds in the past. , today it seems that the relationship between the two of them is much better than the rumors..."

The author has something to say: Qiao Wan: I was scared to death!Almost died!

Princess: ╭(╯╰)╮

Something went out during the day, so it was later again. . . _(:3”∠)_
